Keep Shtoom

I have loads of pictures of personalised baby cushions that never see the light of … a screen. Annoyingly, but understandably I can’t go plastering pictures of them on social media until I’m sure the recipient has received it and by then the moment of marketing motivation has long gone.

However, today I stumbled across a few images taken of the last specimen which was too lovely to go unaired.

Oh, by the way, a certain extremely popular magazine about Living in the Country have commented on the loveliness of Cloth Eared Hare cushion. Unfortunately Hares are not appropriate in August, which is the issue they are currently working on, so I have sent some pics of a range which I think is decidedly summery. We’ll see.

Where do I live? An beautiful island called Lismore
Who with? I live with my gorgeous man - Yorick, and my beautiful boys Ruben (currently 14) and Tom (10) and we also have cat poppy, cat Bashy and cat Spyro.
What do I do there? Water veggies in the polytunnel, loads of mopping up, picking up clothes, cooking and washing dishes. The rest of the time I'm in a blissfull state in my studio making things out of wool and designing the next must have (in my head!) and a lot of cycling to and fro
My favourite Books: Right now...empowerment books like "The power of now" and "The Secret", but also John Fowles "The Magus" and "The kite runner" and I love the "Tao of Poo"
My Favourite films: Babettes feast, Wings of desire and The colour of Pomegranites.
My favourite music: Bach cello suites for designing, Dolly parton for making (especially her album Little Sparrow), Teddy Thompson and loads of other stuff!
